Why don't you just switch and only pay for the 7-10 mb service and tell them to call once the upgrades are made?

In my area (New England), Comcast is prevalent. They seems to cost a bit more than competitors, but when I had their service it was really stable and I almost always got the speeds I was promised.

TWC Turbo, works pretty well. I can have a couple of torrents going, a movie streaming, and playing a few rounds of CS:GO with no noticeable lag. Can't really complain.
